Yeah. It's a concern for me. I also wouldn't rule out Ramsey holding out this offseason.  He's already hinted at it. 

Perhaps I'm overly concerned about those deals - but every free agent move this team makes this year will affect what they are able to offer Ramsey, Ngakoue and probably Jack.

Which is just another example of why going with the low priced Vet/rookie QB makes the most sense. Every extra $10-15m per year spent on Foles is that much less that can be spent on Ramsey/Ngakoue/Jack/other free agents.

If Ramsey holds out, you're hurting the entire team and pissing him off. A little childish to hold out, but I'd understand why. You have to keep your best player happy.

The longer you wait to pay Ramsey, the more it's going to cost. Re-sign him this year and lock up Ngakoue next year. As well as Jack next year hopefully.

Going with the Rookie QB, you have him cheap for at least 4 years and can re-sign your guys no problem.

Of course you could try and flip it and say pay Ngakoue first, since you hold the 5th year option on Ramsey, but that could all but guarantee a hold out.
